Your customers have their say

The Your Healthy Living 2015 awards are voted for by consumers, and as such are a good indicator of what’s popular in health food stores. Here are this year’s winners.

Our sister magazine Your Healthy Living is the leading consumer natural health magazine available free to your customers every month. The publication runs annual consumer awards, offering its readers the opportunity to vote for their favourite natural products across seven categories. The response has been as overwhelming as ever, and the results tell us which products have won the hearts of consumers over the past year.

And now, without further ado, here are their choices!
